Plymouth to Roscoff Ferry Prices & Booking Guide 2026

All prices are starting prices — off-peak, booked well in advance. Additional passengers beyond the 2 included with the car fare are charged at the foot passenger rate. Cabin accommodation is priced additionally. Van / People Carrier passengers confirm they are not carrying goods or equipment for commercial purposes and do not require customs paperwork.

⚠️ When Is a Cabin Compulsory?

A cabin or reserved lounge seat is compulsory on all overnight Plymouth to Roscoff sailings. You cannot board an overnight crossing without one. On daytime sailings (the Friday afternoon Pont-Aven crossing and any daytime Armorique sailings in peak season), a cabin is optional — you can sail in the public areas without booking one, though many passengers choose to take one anyway for the space and privacy.

Cabins are priced separately on top of your passenger or vehicle fare. Options range from a reserved lounge seat (from £10 per person) to a 4-berth Club Plus cabin with breakfast included (from £130) on the Armorique, or the Pont-Aven’s Commodore cabin with private balcony (from £195). See the full cabin guide for all grades and prices.

📌 Booking validity: All bookings are valid for a maximum of 12 months from the original travel date. For return tickets, both outward and return journeys must be completed within 12 months of the original outward departure.

Armorique & Pont-Aven: Food Pass

The Food Pass gives you pre-paid credit for onboard dining with a bonus percentage on top — the more you spend, the more you save. Valid in all cafés, self-service restaurants, and à la carte restaurants on board. Can be used at the bar between 5am and 10am British time only.

Steps 15–17: Add-Ons, Review & Pay

1. Start with the date, not the price. Fares on this route are dynamic — the same sailing on the same date will cost more the closer you get to departure. Once you have your dates in mind, check prices immediately rather than waiting. The longest advance bookings consistently yield the lowest fares, with the biggest price jumps happening inside 4–6 weeks of departure.
2. Shoulder season is significantly cheaper than peak. May, June, and September offer some of the best value on this route — the crossing is quieter, the weather is often still good, and fares can be substantially lower than July and August. If you have flexibility in when you travel, shoulder season is worth considering seriously.
3. Sunday to Thursday sailings cost less than Fridays and Saturdays. Weekend departures carry a premium — particularly Saturday evenings and Friday afternoons in the holiday season. A Tuesday or Wednesday overnight departure on the same week can cost noticeably less than the Friday equivalent.
4. Use Early Bird if your dates are firm. If you are booking more than 60 days ahead and are confident your dates will not change, Early Bird is the cheapest ticket type available. The trade-off is no refund on cancellation and a £20 amendment fee — so it only makes sense if your plans are genuinely fixed.
5. Book two Flexi singles rather than one return if flexibility matters to you. When you check in for the outward leg of a return Flexi ticket, your amendment rights on the return leg are lost. Booking two separate one-way Flexi tickets instead keeps the return leg independently amendable right up to 4 hours before that sailing. This is a well-known tip among regular Brittany Ferries travellers and is worth the small additional admin.
6. Use the Large Food Pass if you plan to eat a full dinner and breakfast on board. At £50 with 15% extra spend, the Large Food Pass easily covers a main course dinner plus drinks plus a full breakfast the following morning — making it comfortably better value than paying as you go. Buy it during the booking process as it cannot be added afterwards.
7. Consider Club Voyage if you cross to France more than once a year. Brittany Ferries’ loyalty programme costs £130 for the first year (£60 registration plus £70 annual fee) and returns savings of up to 35% on ferry fares, free or discounted cabins on qualifying day sailings, 10% off in all onboard restaurants, a €12.50 food and drink voucher on overnight crossings, 50% off onboard Wi-Fi, and discounts on cinema tickets. For passengers who use the Plymouth–Roscoff route regularly, the membership typically covers its cost within the first or second booking of the year.

How much does the Plymouth to Roscoff ferry cost in 2026?

Starting prices for 2026: foot passenger from £38 per person one way; car plus 2 passengers from £117; motorhome from £175. Cabin accommodation is compulsory on all overnight sailings and is priced additionally — reserved lounge seats from £10 per person, standard 2-berth cabins from £55. All fares are dynamic and will be higher during peak summer, school holidays, and Friday/Saturday sailings. The earlier you book, the lower the price.

What is the cheapest way to book the Plymouth to Roscoff ferry?

The most reliable way to get a lower price is to book as early as possible — ideally 60 days or more ahead using the Early Bird fare. Travelling in May, June or September rather than peak summer, and choosing mid-week (Sunday to Thursday) over weekends, will also reduce the cost significantly. Children aged 4–15 travel at half price; under 4s travel free. Booking directly with Brittany Ferries ensures access to all available sailings, all cabin grades, and the full Early Bird fare.

What are the differences between Early Bird, Standard and Flexi tickets?

Early Bird is the cheapest — available 60+ days before departure, full payment at booking, no refund on cancellation, £20 amendment fee. Standard is the most popular — free amendments up to 2 weeks before sailing, 25% voucher refund on cancellations 15–59 days ahead, nothing inside 15 days. Flexi is the most flexible — free amendments up to 4 hours before sailing, 50% cash refund on cancellations with more than 24 hours’ notice. All ticket types carry a £10 surcharge for amendments made via the Contact Centre that could have been done online.

Do I have to pay in full when I book?

If you are booking less than 60 days before travel, full payment is required at booking for all ticket types. If booking 60 or more days ahead: Early Bird requires full payment regardless; Standard requires a 75% non-refundable deposit; Flexi requires a 50% non-refundable deposit with the balance due closer to travel.

What are the maximum vehicle dimensions for this route?

Cars: max height 2.60m, max length 6m. Vans and people carriers: max height 4m, max length 9m. Motorhomes and campervans: max height 4m, max length 9m. Caravans and trailers are priced separately and added to the car fare, with a maximum total length of 9m (tow vehicle plus caravan). Roof boxes and roof-mounted items are accommodated up to a 4m maximum total vehicle height — measure your total height before booking if you have a roof box fitted.

Do children get a discount on Plymouth to Roscoff ferry tickets?

Yes — children aged 4–15 travel at half price on most fares. Children under 4 travel free. The discount is applied automatically when you enter passenger ages during booking. A cabin or reserved lounge seat is still required on overnight crossings for all passengers regardless of age. Infant cots can be requested for children under 24 months — pre-book when selecting the infant passenger.

Are the Food Passes worth buying on the Plymouth to Roscoff crossing?

Food Passes are pre-paid dining credit valid on the Armorique and Pont-Aven: Small £25 (5% extra), Medium £40 (10% extra), Large £50 (15% extra). They can be used in all cafés, self-service and à la carte restaurants on board — but not at the bar except between 5am and 10am British time. If you are planning a main course dinner and a full breakfast, the Large Pass at 15% extra spend is good value. They are non-refundable and valid only on the sailing for which they are purchased. They must be added at the time of booking.
